Express News | Tencent Cloud: Adjusting the Billing Model for DDoS Protection

Tencent Cloud Announcement: Starting from Thursday, September 10, 2026 (Beijing Time), the billing model for DDoS protection services will be adjusted. We are consolidating and simplifying the previously fragmented billing methods across multiple product lines—including Basic DDoS Protection, DDoS High-Protection Package (Standard Edition/Standard Edition 2.0), and DDoS High-Protection Package (Enterprise Edition)—into a unified structure comprising five fee components, thereby reducing complexity in understanding and operation. The basic plans offer two options: the Practical Edition (providing full-capacity protection twice per month) and the Premium Edition (providing unlimited full-capacity protection per month), allowing users to flexibly choose based on their protection needs. Additionally, fees include Business Scale Charges (metered by business traffic volume) and Protected Resource Count Charges (metered by the number of resources associated with protection instances). For both, once the prepaid monthly quota is exhausted, excess usage will be billed on a post-paid basis using tiered unit prices. If customized protection needs arise, such as Security Operations Services or Critical Event Support, users may opt to purchase additional Customized Protection Strategy fees.
